Alcohol Free Beer Explorers

In the past when I drank regularly the Clwb Tropica used to be one of my go to drinks. So a little test to see how Clwb Tropica Non Alc Compares with its 5.5%ABV Cousin and have my opinions changed. The first thing I noticed was the head on the pour the 5.5% version had a much thicker head that stayed around much longer.  The NA version had hardly any head too it.   Looking at the 2 drinks side by side the 5.5% is a cloudier beer.  The 0.5% version has much less of a haze too it and is quite clear colour in comparison.
